Chiefs Settling the blame game. - Page 4

Extra Point · 10-17-2010, 04:04 PM

Can't change my vote from 4 to a 2. #2 was the turd on the menu.

Weis did a great job. Just picked the wrong play. A RG-C left-RG pull right-trap off Waters' left hip would have done the trick, with Jones carrying the ball, even if they had to go for it on 4th down. PRN, all the rest of the game.

Jones transitioned from disbelief to disgruntlement when the camera got him.

The interference call was pathetic, but that's how it goes. Flowers did a great job, and showed a lot of heart. The defense did as good a job as I could expect.

It's gotta be the defense, but some coaching definitely played a big role in the loss. Most of all the 3rd and 2 call. The refs certainly screwed us a bit too, the bad spot on the 3rd down run, the flowers thing, a good amount of no-calls that we should have got. I don't watch enough of other teams to make a comparison if other teams get fucked by refs at the same rate that we do.

I'm not a fan of Cassel, but he isn't to blame today.

**Reaper16** · 10-17-2010, 04:22 PM

Team loss.

2bikemike · 10-17-2010, 04:23 PM

I picked the defense, however there is enough blame to go around. I really expected us to pick up some first downs there at the end to chew up some clock and Houston timeouts. That IMHO is on the coach.

Houston is a good team and I had this game as a loss. What irritates me is we had this game. Two weeks in a row we were in the game and had good opportunities to win game that I was certain we would lose badly. It will be interesting to see how the team handles this loss and how they will respond at home next week.

**007** · 10-17-2010, 04:33 PM

Cassel isn't to blame but the D put the game on his shoulders and he couldn't deliver. It is games like this that he is getting paid for.

the D ultimately lost this game though.

Molitoth · 10-17-2010, 04:36 PM

Where is Crennel for his shitty defensive scheme in the 4th quarter? Prevent? Seriously?

Rasputin · 10-17-2010, 04:48 PM

This game should be on NFL replay this week. Good game mostly other than shitty defense on both teams. They made the critical plays when needed we didn't. Sucks to be us, but we can rebound from this and go forward.

TrickyNicky · 10-17-2010, 05:03 PM

Gotta say this rests at the feet of the D. 31 points should be enough to win on the road.

ChiefaRoo · 10-17-2010, 05:13 PM

This was a team loss. I'm still excited by our young team and our coaching staff. KC is going to be good this year and much better in years to come.

Thank you.

I'm upset, but hey, we didn't completely embarrass ourselves against two of the top teams in the AFC, on the road, coming off of half a decade of really sucking ass.

I'm oddly happy. We should learn from this, and really steamroll the rest of our schedule.

NewChief · 10-17-2010, 06:07 PM

I didn't get to really watch the 2nd half due to mandatory attendance at a party... but the 1st half was the best half of football I've seen Cassell play.

**Rain Man** · 10-17-2010, 06:14 PM

berry gave up 2 more tds. rookie or not, he's a liability in pass coverage right now. that and having nothing resembling a pass rush. wasn't houston even missing thei LT?

I picked defense. Just too many mistakes. You can't really blame Cassel. He didn't lose the game for us, he just didn't win it. Unfortunately "not losing it for us" is Cassel's ceiling IMO.

EyePod · 10-17-2010, 07:18 PM

I blame Tyson Jackson.

If he isn't injured, the rotation on the D-Line is better and we're more rested and get more pressure/have better run d.
